Chapter Seventy-Nine: Miss Xie
"You must be thinking about that very disgusting analogy you said earlier!"
"But you didn't dig a trench at all!"
Killian muttered quietly, "So how do you know what military boots smell like when you step on them in the rain of the trenches?" ”
Zhang Huaisheng rolled his eyes: "I haven't dug a trench, haven't you ever waded into the water?" The tobacco you wear is like a ringworm foot in your boots. ”
"Hell, that's the smell of rose-chamomile, not some foot stink!"
Killian is angry.
Zhang Huaisheng's analogy is too disgusting and exaggerated, although he also admits that there is indeed a loss of image, but it is only a loss.
"Is that what you did in rhetoric at the University of Edinburgh?"
I didn't even know that I had taken rhetoric in the first place.
Zhang Huaisheng couldn't hold back a laugh, and suddenly said, "Someone is coming." ”
He casually dropped the cigarette in his hand, but immediately realized that this was a dangerous act on the territory of a transcendent who controlled the path.
Because there will be residue of his saliva on the tail of the cigarette, and bodily fluids are often the best medium for curses or divination.
In the otherworld, it never hurts to be cautious.
He extinguished the cigarette butt and placed it on the candle, causing it to burn out.
At this time, the footsteps in the corridor were getting closer and closer.
At the foreground is a woman with a white veil and hood, barely revealing a pair of eyes, followed by a man who is also tightly wrapped and looks like a sidekick.
Zhang Huaisheng's gaze swept over her face, and then froze.
Those cold eyes are very familiar.
The woman stopped, and looked at him unyieldingly.
After a long time, he blinked.
Bypassing him, he walked straight into the room with the attendant.
"Xie Lingyun?"
It hadn't been long since they separated, and he wouldn't be able to distinguish the other party.
This is not a TV series, just cover it up, you can tell the difference between humans and animals.
Besides, Xie Lingyun's recognition is quite high, that unique temperament, as well as the slightly exposed small pieces of smooth and delicate, brocade-like skin, are very different from Westerners.
"Heh, what a woman who is very curious."
He didn't wonder how Xie Lingyun found this place.
Because this extraordinary gathering is actually not a very secret place, and there is no need for any entry barrier, as long as there is an introducer, you can join at any time.
Of course, there are rules for gatherings.
That is, each old customer can only bring one new customer.
This is probably the reason why Xie Lingyun didn't bring Zhang Jingrui and Zhang Mingqiu, two little Taoist priests.
Zhang Huaisheng admires Xie Lingyun very much, not because she is beautiful - at least not only, but also because the other party has a spirit of knowledge that many Donghua people in this era do not have.
She doesn't think about whether learning this thing will be useful for her future or her practice, she just wants to know more new things.
The process of learning alone was enough to comfort her.
"Should I say, is this an engineering girl?"
Zhang Huaisheng sighed with emotion.
There is a faint admiration, but there is only a trace of it.
After all, neither Xie Lingyun nor people like him belong to the kind of people who will take the relationship between men and women very seriously.
Expecting Zhang Huaisheng to pursue a woman in this world who is bent on seeking truth is as unrealistic as a fairy tale.
"Goldfish, everyone is in, don't stare at it. Look, your eyes are popping out. ”
Killian quipped.
Although Killian had always wanted to facilitate the restoration of the relationship between Teresa and Zhang Huaisheng before, over time, he also realized Zhang Huaisheng's clear attitude and no longer thought about it.
"The code name you chose is really ugly."
Zhang Huaisheng smiled, pointed to Killian's pipe and said, "Hurry up and go into the house, otherwise the house will smell of feet, and people will scold the street." ”
Killian muttered, "That's better than the smell of corpses." ”
In the middle of the conversation, another new person arrived.
The hallway soon became lively, and this time, there were still a lot of people coming, and soon most of the chairs in the room were occupied.
When he sat down, Zhang Huaisheng found that these transcendent beings were actually talking about the war that took place on the distant continent of Europe, and sighed from time to time.
"The god of steam reigns, my hometown of Alsace has been captured so quickly by the Germans, and those stupid and incompetent generals will only make a big fuss in the newspapers and urge our compatriots and brothers to die under the guns of the enemy."
"My father was drafted into the army, and some time ago he wrote to me that in the trenches, he was attacked by those damned Germans with flamethrowers, and most of the company was charred, but luckily he escaped in time, and it's scary to think about it."
"My brother died in the Battle of the Somme, I must become a transcendent, return home to join the army, and kill all those Germans to avenge my brother!"
"Be quiet, there's a lot of Germans in this room."
The cruelty of World War I lies in the fact that after the weapons were updated, many veterans had not reversed their previous command thinking at all.
At a time when repeating guns, that is, machine guns, have been installed in the troops, the tactics of crowd charging are still being practiced.
Coupled with artillery fire, the number of casualties among soldiers has increased exponentially, but it is difficult to make an effective breakthrough, and countries are in a stalemate phase and have not made much progress.
This is also one of the reasons why in Zhang Huaisheng's world, the French quickly raised their flags and surrendered during World War II.
The First World War wiped out most of France and killed a generation.
If World War II continues, I am afraid that it will really become a daughter country.
Zhang Huaisheng sat next to Xie Lingyun, he lowered his voice and asked, "How is Donghua now?" ”
Xie Lingyun shook his head: "I don't know very well, when we set off by boat from Yingtianfu, the war had not yet broken out. ”
Zhang Huaisheng only saw the red lips under her veil move slightly, but the voice was heard very clearly, as if it was in his ears.
"Awesome, this is a sound transmission?"
"Well, I learned from the captain who escorted us."
"What are you doing here? Do you have any money? ”
Xie Lingyun was obviously stunned for a moment, and there was a little regret in his tone: "If you want to see it for a long time, I heard that there is a very good appraiser here, even if you can't afford it, it's good to listen to him." ”
Xie Lingyun will definitely not run out of money.
She is so powerful and so young, she is definitely not comparable to the waste wood of the transcendent world of Ms. Chicken Paws, even if she is on Longhu Mountain in Nankang Mansion, she is definitely a top talent.
And Donghua said that he was poor, but in fact he was not poor.
It is the common people at the bottom who are poor.
A leader like Longhu Mountain, who is in charge of the Southern Daomen Niu Er, must not be short of money.
It is estimated that Xie Lingyun just didn't bring money, or pounds and dollars.
"Tell me what you see, I'll buy it for you, after all, all the previous loot belongs to me, and that vampire corpse is an extraordinary material in the middle sequence, at least a few thousand pounds."
"Then you're welcome."
Xie Lingyun's eyes were smart, and there was no sense of offense in them.
Donghua people are sometimes ashamed to talk about money, as if mentioning two more sentences has a copper smell, but when people live in the world, how can they not need money?
